This isn't necessarily directed at anyone in this thread, just a general warning to anyone reading- be very careful if you are physically dependent on benzos, sudden withdrawal can kill you. If you feel you are physically dependent on them do not quit cold turkey, contact your doctor to make a plan to do it safely. Also be aware if you are a chronic user, due to an effect called 'kindling' each successive withdrawal you go through can become worse and more dangerous.

Chemically alcohol and benzo withdrawal is very similar (both are classified as sedative-hypnotics). Roughly two years ago I quit drinking cold turkey and had withdrawal induced seizure. If I had been living alone I could have died. So don't be an idiot like me. Get the proper care you need.
